Types of Medical Tests - TOML

Medical examinations are essential healthcare procedures used for disease diagnosis, treatment planning, and monitoring disease progression. In Japanese healthcare settings, medical tests are classified into five main categories: specimen tests, physiological function tests, imaging tests, endoscopic examinations, and pathological examinations. Each test has specific purposes and indications, and comprehensive medical decisions are made through appropriate combinations of these tests.
